The Hollow and the Haunted

The Hollow and the Haunted, Book 1

By: Camilla Raines

Narrated by: Patrick Mealey

Perfect for fans of atmospheric queer fantasy romance.

Miles Warren hails from a long line of psychics. Resigned to a life in the family business, Miles is perfectly happy, thank you very much. Apart from the fact he hasn't told anyone he's gay, and that he's constantly exhausted from long nights spent wrangling angry ghosts in creepy cemeteries. Perfectly happy.

But Miles's comfortable routine is interrupted when he starts having visions of an unfamiliar boy. He soon learns the stranger is Gabriel Hawthorne, whose family have a mysterious, decades-long feud with Miles's own—and that the visions are a premonition of his murder. Gabriel is everything Miles expects from a Hawthorne: rude, haughty, irritatingly good-looking. But that doesn't mean Miles is just going to stand by and let someone kill him.

The two form an uneasy alliance, trying to solve Gabriel's murder before it happens. As they begin to unravel the web of secrets between their families, and with dark magic swirling around them, Miles is horrified to realize that he doesn’t hate Gabriel quite as much as he’s supposed to. He might even like him.

Too bad Gabriel is probably going to die.

Spooky and Sweet

It’s got it all: romance, mystery, ghosts. I was recommended this book by my wife and once again she was right. Loved it!

A heartfelt, chilling and suspenseful story.

I always enjoy a good ghost story, and I didn't expect this would capture me as much as it did. The relationship between Miles and Gabriel is a very fun dynamic, and the genuine care they show for eachother is wholesome. Miles' relationship with his family is also a great point, especially contrasting with Gabriel's. Overall, a very great story and a fun read for horror fans.

Really enjoyed

Feels like a classic YA from the golden days. The ghost stuff was fun. Excited for part 2
